Two otherwise identical light waves arriving at the same point with peak matching valley undergo
A)constructive interference.
B)destructive interference.
C)polarization.
D)none of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two waves with identical frequency, amplitude, and polarization arrive at a point with peak matching valley, they undergo destructive interference. This means that the amplitudes of the two waves cancel each other out, resulting in a lower overall amplitude at that point. Therefore, choice B (destructive interference) is the correct answer.
